Ingredients
Scale
1 oz pine resin tincture (see Making Pine Pitch Tincture above)
1 oz perfumer’s alcohol
15 drops mandarin essential oil
8 drops black pepper essential oil
4 drops sandlewood essential oil
Instructions
- Make a concentrated pine resin tincture by filling a small glass mason jar about 3/4 full of pine resin bits and pieces. Don’t worry about dirt or bark in the tincture — they will be strained out later.
- Fill jar to the top with perfumer’s alcohol, cover, label and place jar in a cool, dark location for a week or so, shaking the jar every so often.
- When your pine resin tincture is done infusing, strain out any solids left in the jar.
- Combine ingredients in a fine mister bottle with a 2-oz capacity. You will likely need to dilute your pine resin tincture with additional perfumer’s alcohol. The concentrated tincture will probably be a bit sticky if you try to use it straight. Don’t worry, though — even diluted, plenty of that glorious pine resin fragrance will remain. ♥
Notes
Makes one 2-oz bottle of perfume.
Jars, tools and fingers that come in contact with the concentrated tincture will be sticky. They should clean up easily with a little isopropyl alcohol.
